    You can still Pull the stats later to see what gun it was, its just so much easier to pull stats using the BT method I got the BT and love it.

    Stats will still be recorded no matter what so they can always be reviewed later. Its not finalized and they have not finalized all the system voices yet so there is always room for improvements in the future. Maybe an option to review a list of past alerts directly from the Control Module might be able to be added to the menu's.. Anything is possible.

    Before looking at an Escort Radar Detector you should really check out Uniden Detectors.. Uniden R1 & R3 are the best performing radar detectors for the money.

    Of course, but the HiFi module is being built for people who want to know immediately. If it takes 4 seconds to hear this information...well that's dangerous for our community, IMO. Every time someone using that module gets hit, he has to make a split second decision about whether to kill immediately (and have to pull the stats file, transfer it to a computer, and load it in a browser, which is a pain), or whether to wait until it's announced. Not everyone makes good decisions under stress, and for some close range shots (300' or so) at freeway speeds, 4 seconds might be JTG or nearly so. Sometimes, you might not even know where the cop is shooting you from.

    No matter what if you get a Laser Alert you need to take action no matter what gun you are hit with. False alerts are very rare.

    Another Perk of the BT is it says right there on the screen what gun you were hit with, so you can JTK immediately and then just look at alerts when you get a second, you really dont have to pull any stats.

    Yeah, I said that earlier. Unfortunately, the Display module is apparently not even being developed yet

    I agree 100% , why it would not be allowed to do our own voices , on my Li i was able to change each gun by a number ,
    the total alert time was 1 sec : siren .5 + number .5 sec

    Customization is the trend in every modern product ...

    4 = markman or ultralite 20-20...easy to hear and remember.

    Can you guys consider adding backlight to the buttons? Like how the STi-R+ control module lights up at night. It makes it much easier to find the button. I found myself struggling to find the button a couple times I got hit at night.

    Thanks!
